Why Choose the Nomad Kit?
The HOTTAP V2 is an outstanding portable water heater on its own. The Nomad Kit takes it a step further by including the accessories experienced campers and overlanders typically end up buying anyway.
Instead of adding components one at a time, the Nomad Kit arrives ready to pump water from nearby lakes or rivers, supply hot running water to your campsite kitchen and provide comfortable hot showers almost anywhere you can take a propane bottle.
If you're looking for the most complete HOTTAP package available, this is it.
Everything You Need for Proper Hot Water Outdoors
HOTTAP V2 Water Heater
The heart of the Nomad Kit is Joolca's compact propane-powered HOTTAP V2. It heats water continuously as it flows, providing a proper hot shower without waiting for a storage tank to warm up.
Pump Water From Almost Anywhere
The included 12V pump lets you draw water from a jerry can, portable tank or suitable natural source, giving you running hot water even when campground plumbing is nowhere nearby.
Up to 30 Metres From Your Water Source
Your campsite does not need to sit directly beside the lake, creek or water container. The pump can move water over a substantial distance, helping you create a more comfortable and practical camp layout.
Complete Outdoor Kitchen Sink
The included sink turns the HOTTAP into a functional campsite kitchen. Wash dishes, rinse produce, clean cookware and keep food preparation separate from your shower area.
Hot Water at the Shower or Faucet
Use the modular showerhead for bathing and rinsing, or direct hot water to the kitchen faucet. The system adapts easily as your campsite needs change throughout the day.
Stable Upgraded Stand
The freestanding support positions the HOTTAP securely without permanent mounting. Set it up beside the sink, shower shelter, trailer or vehicle, then pack it away when the trip is over.
Two-Stage Water Filter
The weighted intake filter helps keep leaves, grit and sediment away from the pump and heater when drawing from suitable outdoor water sources. It can be opened and rinsed without tools.
Adjustable Temperature and Flow
Separate gas and water controls let you balance heat and flow for the job at hand, from a warm shower to a stronger stream for washing dishes and muddy equipment.
Modular Showerhead
Use the showerhead by hand, mount it magnetically to a compatible metal surface or position it overhead for a more familiar shower experience.
No Permanent Installation
Move the Nomad Kit between your truck, trailer, campsite, cabin or backyard. It delivers the convenience of running hot water without permanently modifying a vehicle or building.
THE NOMAD EXPERIENCE

Start the morning by washing your face with warm water.
Use the sink to prepare breakfast and clean cookware.
Rinse muddy boots, bikes, pets and equipment throughout the day.

The Nomad Kit does more than make camping comfortable. It creates a practical outdoor water system that makes everyday life away from home cleaner, easier and better organized.
Running Hot Water in Four Simple Steps
Choose Your Water

Set Your Temperature
Adjust the gas and water controls to balance temperature and flow for showering, washing or rinsing.
Turn on the Water
Activate the showerhead or faucet and the HOTTAP heats the water continuously as it flows.

Important Water Source Guidance
Filtration Is Not Purification
The included two-stage filter helps protect the pump and heater by reducing leaves, grit, debris and fine sediment from suitable outdoor water sources.
It does not make contaminated water safe to drink. Use clean water whenever possible and avoid salty, chemically polluted or visibly contaminated sources.

Weighted intake filter helps reduce leaves, grit and sediment before water reaches the pump.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the Nomad Kit over the Outing Kit?
Both kits include the Premium Pump Kit for drawing water from unpressurized sources. The Nomad Kit adds the upgraded stand and complete outdoor kitchen sink, making it the most complete HOTTAP package available.
Can I use water from a lake or river?
Yes. The included Premium Pump Kit and weighted two-stage filter are designed to draw water from suitable natural sources such as lakes and creeks. The filter helps remove debris and sediment but does not purify water for drinking.
Can I connect directly to campground water?
Absolutely. If a pressurized water supply is available, simply connect the HOTTAP directly and leave the pump packed away.
Does the water heater store hot water?
No. The HOTTAP V2 is an on-demand water heater that heats water as it flows through the system, providing on-demand hot water without a storage tank. As long as water and propane remain available, the hot water keeps flowing.
Can I wash dishes with it?
Yes. That's one of the biggest advantages of the Nomad Kit. The included sink and faucet create a practical outdoor kitchen with running hot water for dishes, cookware and food preparation.
Can I use a portable power station?
Yes. Any compatible 12V power source capable of operating the pump will work, including many portable power stations.
Can the pump run dry?
Yes. The Premium Pump Kit is designed to tolerate running dry without damage if your water container empties unexpectedly.
Can I use it in freezing weather?
Yes, but the system should always be drained completely before storage or transport if freezing temperatures are expected.
Is propane included?
No. A compatible propane cylinder must be purchased separately.
Is this the best HOTTAP kit for overlanding?
In our opinion, yes. The Nomad Kit provides the greatest flexibility by combining portable hot water, remote water pumping and a complete outdoor kitchen into one premium package.
Cap-it Take
Most customers initially think they're buying a shower.
After a few trips, they realize they're really buying a portable hot water system.
Hot water quickly becomes useful for washing dishes, rinsing muddy boots, cleaning mountain bikes, bathing pets, preparing food and keeping camp organized. That's exactly why the Nomad Kit exists.
Instead of purchasing the pump, stand and sink separately later, the Nomad Kit includes everything from day one. It transforms the HOTTAP V2 into a complete outdoor water station that works almost anywhere.
If you're serious about overlanding, extended camping or building the ultimate campsite, this is the HOTTAP kit we'd recommend without hesitation.
